• Maintain flexibility to work extended hours and rotating shifts as required to meet business demands and client expectations, consistently performing under pressure.

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills

• Remain flexible and deliver against tight deadlines by organizing, prioritizing, and managing workload effectively.
• Operate effectively in large-scale, high-volume environments and support multi-stream programs with competing deliverables.
